Consistent with section 2(c)(1) of the Migration and Refugee
Assistance Act of 1962, as amended, 22 U.S.C. 2601(c)(1), I hereby
determine that it is important to the national interest that up to $26
million be made available from the U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration
Assistance Fund for a contribution to the United Nations Relief and
Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to meet
unexpected, urgent refugee needs in the West Bank and Gaza.

You are authorized and directed to inform the appropriate
committees of the Congress of this determination and the obligation of
funds under this authority, and to arrange for the publication of this
memorandum in the Federal Register.
